Revenue climbed 32% to GBP23.8 million from GBP18.0 million.

Chief Executive Officer Anthony Viljoen said: "We are proud to have delivered record revenues, higher tin recoveries, and a sevenfold increase in tantalum output, while advancing Lithium Ridge with SQM and expanding our resource base. Post year-end, the commissioning of the jig plant, the investment by Talent10, and the Goantagab ore supply agreement provide immediate growth levers at a time of buoyant tin prices."
"We enter FY2026 with momentum, a clear plan, and the right partnerships to transform Andrada into a leading African supplier of critical minerals for the energy transition."
SQM, namely Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile SA, according to Andrada Mining is the world's largest lithium chemical producer. Back in September 2024, SQM through its subsidiary SQM Australia Pty Ltd, entered into a three stage earn in agreement to partner with Andrada Mining in developing the Lithium Ridge asset, located about 35 kilometres from the Uis tin mine in Namibia.
Andrada Mining shares rose 5.7% to 3.17 pence each on Friday morning in London.
